Chapter 757: The First Second Stage Method

Chapter 757: The First Second Stage Method

"Entering the Immortal Path?"

The many figures in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace did not show any surprise.

At the end of the ancient era, before the three Immortal Emperors led the various Immortal Kings and Red Dust Immortals to break into the Immortal Path,

they had deliberately left behind the Bronze Immortal Palace. Aside from ensuring the stability of the Great Wilderness Source World, they also did so to guide newly ascended Red Dust Immortals of later generations into the Immortal Path.

Completely connecting the world at the end of the Immortal Path with the Great Wilderness Source World was as difficult as ascending to heaven; with every additional Red Dust Immortal, their chances of success would increase by a fraction.

Twenty thousand years ago, Lin Yuan had swept through one restricted zone after another, exhibiting a strength that started at the level of a Supreme emperor.

At that time, the many figures of the Bronze Immortal Palace were still unsure if Lin Yuan had become a Red Dust Immortal.

However, eight thousand years ago, Lin Yuan had taken the initiative to visit them and nearly blasted through the Bronze Immortal Palace.

He had indisputably proven that he already stood above the Red Dust Immortals.

At that time, the many figures of the Bronze Immortal Palace had asked Lin Yuan if he would enter the Immortal Path.

The reply they received was simply that there was no rush.

"The Immortal Path."

Lin Yuan's gaze was deep as he looked into the depths of the layers of time and space.

Now that he had absorbed undying matter to the absolute limit, there was little point in continuing to stay in the Great Wilderness Source World.

Instead, he could explore the Immortal Path that attracted so many Red Dust Immortals, Immortal Kings, and even Immortal Emperors.

To be able to attract so many Time Lifeforms one after another, the value of the Immortal Path was far more than just being able to forge the Great Wilderness Source World into an unprecedented Holy Land of cultivation.

It must also have an irreplaceable effect on the Time Lifeforms themselves.

"Any timeline involving the Immortal Path becomes obscure and distorted, making it difficult to observe."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Over the past twenty thousand years, he had tried to view timelines related to the Immortal Path more than once.

The information and intelligence he obtained were not very comprehensive.

But even if it was just fragmented information, it still made Lin Yuan's heart leap.

The world at the end of the Immortal Path was a great fortune even for Time Lords.

"Lord Tianyuan, the Bronze Immortal Palace Seals the entrance connecting to the Immortal Path. To enter, one needs power at the Red Dust Immortal level to break it open," the leading figure in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace said in a low voice.

This was also the prerequisite threshold for entering the Immortal Path.

If one was not a Red Dust Immortal, even if they found the Bronze Immortal Palace and discovered the entrance connecting to the Immortal Path, they would be helpless.

In fact, if one was not even a Red Dust Immortal, entering the Immortal Path would not be of much help in connecting the world at the end of the Immortal Path.

"I know."

Lin Yuan nodded.

He had already understood most of the information regarding entering the Immortal Path.

Before coming here, he had also made many preparations in the Great Wilderness Source World. The Human Race would not become the target of foreign races' sieges again just because he disappeared.

After twenty thousand years, under Lin Yuan's deliberate cultivation and promotion,

although the Human Race had not given birth to another Great Emperor, many special Quasi-Emperors who could rival Great Emperors had emerged.

Furthermore, Lin Yuan had already cleansed the various foreign races and restricted zones several times. Those Supreme Kings who held grudges against the Human Race had all died out.

The Human Race's status in the Great Wilderness Source World was unshakable. Even if Lin Yuan entered the Immortal Path, there would not be much of a change.

Simply put, the current Human Race, even without Lin Yuan, could look down upon the entire Great Wilderness Source World.

"Mhm."

The many figures in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace stepped aside in unison.

Rumble!

The Bronze Immortal Palace began to vibrate, slowly moving in another direction.

In the position where the Bronze Immortal Palace originally stood, a distorted void could be vaguely seen.

This was the entrance connecting to the Immortal Path.

During the ancient era, the three Immortal Emperors observed the past and future.

Only then did they discover traces of the Immortal Path here, which was also the source of the undying matter in the world.

Before this, even those as strong as Immortal Emperors could draw upon the undying matter, but they were unable to capture where the undying matter originated from.

Lin Yuan quietly looked at that distorted void.

Then, he reached out a hand.

And struck forward.

The heavens and earth roared, and the Grand Dao distorted.

Lin Yuan's strike was just a casual move. Even so, the power erupted was at the Peak of the Red Dust Immortal Realm, close to a blow from an Immortal King.

From where Lin Yuan stood, time and space rapidly vanished, as if the heavens and earth were being recreated.

Lin Yuan broke open the entrance to the Immortal Path without hiding it. The terrifying power vibrated, rapidly spreading across the entire Great Wilderness Source World.

"This kind of power?"

In a secret corner of the Great Wilderness Source World, a disheveled man suddenly raised his head to look at the sky. "The Immortal Path… This is the aura of the Immortal Path being broken open. Is another Red Dust Immortal entering the Immortal Path?"

The commotion of the Immortal Path being broken open was felt more deeply by stronger beings. Especially for creatures at the Great Emperor level, they could perceive the undying matter, so they could naturally also perceive the fluctuations from the source of the undying matter.

"Who is it? That Great Emperor Tianyuan?"

The disheveled man could not help but think to himself. Twenty thousand years ago, when Great Emperor Tianyuan swept across the world, he had once felt a bit of this current Great Emperor's aura from afar.

He just hadn't expected that the other party would actually be a Red Dust Immortal.

"A Red Dust Immortal…"

The disheveled man sighed in his heart. The years he had lived through were immeasurable; he had existed since the ancient era, yet even now, he had no confidence in attempting to charge into the Red Dust Immortal Realm.

To become a Red Dust Immortal, the greatest threshold was to break through the time loop.

The Supreme emperors absorbed a large amount of undying matter, giving them incredibly long Lifespans. They lived life after life, all preparing to break through the time loop.

"A Red Dust Immortal? Our Great Wilderness Source World has birthed a Red Dust Immortal?"

"It's Great Emperor Tianyuan. Great Emperor Tianyuan is breaking open the Immortal Path."

The various Supremes of the Great Wilderness Source World vaguely felt something, and their hearts were filled with shock.

The Supremes who were still alive basically held no hostility toward the Human Race, and they had all met Lin Yuan. Thus, they immediately realized that the existence breaking open the Immortal Path was indeed Great Emperor Tianyuan.

"Too terrifying."

"Fortunately, I never made a move against the Human Race."

"Who could have imagined that Great Emperor Tianyuan would be a Red Dust Immortal?"

The thoughts of many Supremes fluctuated. Twenty thousand years ago, when Great Emperor Tianyuan forcefully swept through everything, their judgment of him was also that of a Supreme emperor.

As for a Red Dust Immortal?

A Supreme emperor could rival a Red Dust Immortal to a certain extent, but they were ultimately not a Red Dust Immortal.

Even if some Supremes speculated that Great Emperor Tianyuan might have stepped into the Red Dust Immortal level, it was still just speculation and had not been confirmed.

Outside the Heavenly Yuan Imperial Palace.

The dozens or hundreds of figures stranded in front of the Imperial Palace also felt the terrifying fluctuations erupted when the Immortal Path was broken open.

"Great Emperor Tianyuan… is already a Red Dust Immortal?"

The black-haired youth was inexplicably shocked. First, he had experienced the fact that he couldn't even take the first step of the thirty-three steps outside the Imperial Palace.

Now, he discovered that Great Emperor Tianyuan, whom he regarded as his goal, had already surpassed the emperor Domain. This caused waves to rise once again in the black-haired youth's mind, which had only just managed to calm down.

It wasn't just the black-haired youth.

The other dozens or hundreds of figures on the field felt more or less the same.

These figures were all Quasi-Emperors born over the last twenty thousand years. They either possessed special Physiques or powerful Bloodlines, enough to contend with ordinary Supremes.

For them, the Great Emperor Realm was still something they could look up to and hope to touch.

But a Red Dust Immortal?

How many Great Emperors had been born throughout history, yet how many of them had ultimately become Red Dust Immortals?

Lin Yuan withdrew his right hand, seeing that the distorted void had already been completely torn open.

An irregular void passage appeared, connecting to a mysterious time and space—that was the Immortal Path.

"I will head in first."

Lin Yuan looked at the entrance to the Immortal Path, swept his gaze over the many figures in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace, and took a step forward, disappearing from sight.

"Lord Tianyuan has entered?"

The Bronze Immortal Palace slowly returned to its original position, and the figures standing outside the palace wore expressions of deep emotion.

It had only been twenty thousand years since Great Emperor Tianyuan revealed his true strength, but these twenty thousand years had left an indelible impression on the minds of these many figures.

Inside the entrance of the Immortal Path.

An invisible aura permeated the air, and any single wisp of this aura was enough to heavily injure or even completely obliterate a Great Emperor-level expert.

"Is this the Immortal Path?"

Lin Yuan observed his surroundings. Where he stood, time and space in all directions were incredibly stable, and the sweeping invisible aura quickly became extremely docile upon approaching him.

"The Great Destruction Power of this Origin World?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself. The invisible aura currently permeating the surroundings was precisely the Great Destruction Power.

This degree of Great Destruction Power usually only appeared in dimensional spaces that were about to enter a great destruction.

At that time, under the sweep of the great destruction aura, all things and all living beings would be destroyed. Even Time Lifeforms could only withdraw from the dimensional space to seek refuge.

If they forced themselves to stay within the dimensional space, even Time Lifeforms would not be able to withstand it, and their Physical Bodies would collapse and be destroyed under the erosion of the Great Destruction Power.

"This Origin World has not yet entered a great destruction, yet it is filled with this level of Great Destruction Power?"

Lin Yuan looked thoughtful. Perhaps this was the special feature of the depths of the Immortal Path? And also the goal that the various Time Lifeforms explored?

"Great Destruction Power…"

Lin Yuan observed the wisps of Great Destruction Power.

In his mind, numerous flashes of realization and insights constantly emerged.

[With your Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, by observing the Great Destruction Power, your comprehension of the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao has increased.]

[With your Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, by observing the Great Destruction Power, you have comprehended the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao.]

The Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao was one of the fundamental Origin Grand Daos of the endless dimensions and planes, far stronger than a single Chaotic Origin Taiyin or Taiyang Dao.

This was an extremely murderous Origin Grand Dao that influenced the destruction of various dimensional spaces.

Originally, Lin Yuan already had a very high accumulation of comprehension regarding the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao. The natural cosmic great destruction of the Chaos Void could also be considered a prototype of dimensional space great destruction.

After stepping into the Thirteenth Order to become a Time Lifeform, Lin Yuan increasingly felt the vastness of the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao.

Now, entering the Immortal Path and feeling the Great Destruction Power at close range, under this stimulation, a quantitative change triggered a qualitative change. Comprehending the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao followed naturally.

The Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao belonged to the comprehension of the Thirteenth Order's Second Stage, rivaling the Chaotic Origin Taiji Dao.

Of course, the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao was an Origin Grand Dao that naturally existed within the endless dimensions and planes themselves, whereas the Chaotic Origin Taiji Grand Dao was an Origin Grand Dao that Lin Yuan had opened up himself.

This was also why Lin Yuan had comprehended the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao first. Having the complete Great Destruction Power as a reference and model was naturally much easier than exploring in the dark and creating the Chaotic Origin Taiji Grand Dao from scratch.

But no matter how easy it was, it was still a Thirteenth Order Second Stage method.

"I didn't expect that entering the Immortal Path would have such a benefit."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. Without a doubt, the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao was a Thirteenth Order Second Stage method.

Having comprehended this Origin Grand Dao, Lin Yuan's strength rose once again.

"Can this be considered the first Second Stage method I have mastered?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Long before descending into this Origin World, Lin Yuan was already able to rival Thirteenth Order Second Stage Time Lifeforms.

But that rivalry was entirely based on his own accumulation of Foundation, an accumulation of Foundation that far surpassed the First Realm.

As for his methods, they were still at the First Realm level.

"Let's continue heading in."

Lin Yuan did not tarry, instead heading toward the deeper parts of the Immortal Path.

The various Immortal Kings and Red Dust Immortals who had entered the Immortal Path during the ancient era should have already explored close to the end of the Immortal Path by now.

This could be seen from the few lingering auras in the surroundings, all of which were auras left behind by the Red Dust Immortals and Immortal Kings of the distant past.

In the Immortal Path permeated with the Great Destruction Power, the speed of ordinary Time Lifeforms would inevitably be affected, as they needed to constantly resist the Great Destruction Power.

But for Lin Yuan, who had already comprehended the Chaotic Origin Destruction Dao, the Great Destruction Power was like water to a fish. Not only did it not affect him in the slightest, but it was actually a form of assistance.

The end of the Immortal Path.

This place was hazy and filled with wisps of Great Destruction Power.

And in the distance, there was a completely new world condensed from an aura that was directly opposed to the Great Destruction Power.

This world seemed illusory, clearly not yet fully nurtured. Even so, the slight essence it revealed still captivated the Red Dust Immortals.

However,

the closer one got to this illusory world, the more they would encounter the sweeping Great Destruction Power. Even an Immortal King could not stay in a position too close to it for a long period of time.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." A white-haired Immortal King was immersed in observing that illusory world. Two other figures sat beside him, both of whom were Experts at the Immortal King level.

"What a pity. If we could enter that illusory world to comprehend, it would be of even greater help to us," the Immortal King on the left said in a low voice, his gaze filled with yearning.

"Enter? Even an Immortal Emperor cannot enter."

The Immortal King on the right shook his head. "The illusory world is protected by the Origin of the Great Wilderness Source World, and given the strength of the Great Wilderness Source World's Origin, even an Immortal Emperor would not dare to confront it head-on."

"Hmm?" Just then, the white-haired Immortal King's expression stirred as he looked toward the starting direction of the Immortal Path. "A Red Dust Immortal has entered."

As soon as these words were spoken,

the other two Immortal Kings also looked over.

Having resided on the Immortal Path for endless years, they had mastered the changes in the Immortal Path's aura by heart.

Not a single minute change could be hidden from them.

"The Great Destruction aura permeates the Immortal Path; a newly ascended Red Dust Immortal might not be accustomed to it. Should we send someone to guide them over?"

The Immortal King on the left spoke up.

A newly ascended Red Dust Immortal of the Great Wilderness Source World was equivalent to their junior, so the three Immortal Kings still valued them quite highly.

"I'll go guide them."

A Red Dust Immortal not far away stepped forward.

Having been on the Immortal Path for so many years, he had long since comprehended methods to resist the Great Destruction Power. Facing the endless Great Destruction Power, he was at least much more composed than a newly ascended Red Dust Immortal.

"Mhm…"

The white-haired Immortal King in the middle was about to nod.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

His gaze stared intently toward the starting direction of the Immortal Path.

The Immortal Kings on the left and right also sensed something.

Their expressions revealed disbelief.

"Immortal King, should I head over now?"

The Red Dust Immortal who had stepped forward was about to depart for the initial position of the Immortal Path.

"No need."

The white-haired Immortal King fell silent for a few breaths before shaking his head.

"No need?"

The Red Dust Immortal who had stepped forward was puzzled.

They didn't plan to guide that newly ascended Red Dust Immortal anymore?

Did they want him to endure the endless Great Destruction Power and come here alone?

Was it a test?

This Red Dust Immortal's thoughts spun, speculating this possibility.

"He has already arrived."

The white-haired Immortal King stood up, facing the starting direction of the Immortal Path.

"Arrived?"

The Red Dust Immortal who had stepped forward looked stunned.

In the next moment,

under the watchful eyes of the various Red Dust Immortals and Immortal Kings,

from the starting direction of the Immortal Path where the endless Great Destruction Power permeated, a figure walked over. The Great Destruction Power, which was enough to wear down a Red Dust Immortal's Physical Body, merely interweaved and collided at the surface of this figure's body, behaving exceptionally docile.
